Hi all,

Im new to the group, and am glad I found you guys. Although I want nothing more to be thin and fit into a nice swim suit this summer , it's been hard getting my feet off the group (err... my pounds off the belly ?? lol ) I tried Atkins last year and lost about 15 lbs in 3 weeks by going to the gym everyday. I fell through though, and gained it all back with a vengeance when I started University. Now I feel so discouraged and not ready to try this again. And I hate the taste of meat and such so induction is a struggle, having to eat gross cafeteria food ... you know what im talking about.

Anyways, I will be out of residence in less than 2 weeks, and I want to start off fresh and new.. even right now Im trying hard. I would like to be able to tell myself that I CAN DO IT, but its hard and negativity is getting in the way . I guess Ive always had a negative attitude since fad diets did nothing !

Can anybody help motivate me ? I would love some pep talk until the very last pound is shed. Ive hated this body for years and I think its time to start loving it .

Sometimes I feel that I can do it, and sometimes I feel my efforts are useless.

Love Carrie
